Local File Viewer End User Guide

Local File Viewer is a Windows application that works in conjunction with PrizmDoc to allow you to open files on your local machine in a web browser. Through the configuration application or by configuring command line parameters in the installation program, the Local File Viewer can be registered as the default viewer for a variety of files types, including PDF, Office files, JPG, TIFF, and several AutoCAD formats. This can be a useful alternative or addition to running the Viewing Client as a zero footprint web browser. For additional details, refer to the Local File Viewer Help File on Accusoft.com.
While based on the latest version of the Viewing Client that ships with PrizmDoc, there are a few differences. The Local File Viewer supports most of the functionality available in the Viewing Client, with the exception of annotations and redactions. Annotations and redactions will be added in a future release. In addition, the Viewing Client API’s and customization options supported in PrizmDoc are not currently supported in the Local File Viewer.
A web server with PrizmDoc installed is required to be running on a machine that has PrizmDoc installed in order for Local File Viewer to function. This can be either installed on the user’s local machine (suitable for offline file viewing), or on a network (typical PrizmDoc installation). Details can be found in the Local File Viewer Help File on Accusoft.com.
